[jira] Closed: (SUREFIRE-486) Exlude tests via an external exlude file

["Dan Fabulich (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-486?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dan Fabulich closed SUREFIRE-486.
---------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I don't think that's the feature you want; there's a better way to do it.  JUnit 4 includes a @Ignore annotiation; TestNG allows you to have your tests throw a SkipException which does something similar.  That will keep the tests in the report, but mark them as "yellow" or "skipped".

If we excluded known bugs entirely, they would simply disappear from the report.

> Similar to Ant, Surefire should support excludes defined in an external file like this
>               <testExcludes>
>                    <excludeFile>test-excludes-jboss501.txt</excludeFile>
>               </testExcludes>
> The exclude file would look like this
> # [JBWS-2135] WebServiceException: Undefined port type
> org/jboss/test/ws/jaxws/jbws1822/**
> # [JBWS-2136] ClassCastException: com.sun.xml.ws.server.EndpointMessageContextImpl
> org/jboss/test/ws/jaxws/namespace/**
> # [JBAS-5359] mapped-name is required for context of deployment
> org/jboss/test/ws/jaxws/jbws1611/**
